The essential Valter Herrmann thread

[Glenn]

Okay, it looks like Valter's rarely even going to dress for the Pistons, so since this is just his second year, can't we send him to Ft. Wayne to get some PT?

Haven't seen this mentioned or suggested anywhere, so maybe there is some sort of reason why he's not eligible?

edit - yes, I'm too lazy to look up the NBDL eligibility rules myself

[MOLA1]

I think it'd be pretty insulting to him.

He had a decent rookie campaign and looked good this year when
given minutes. I hope we start playing him. He's a baller.

Could someone explain one thing that Jarvis Hayes does better than Walter?
May the best man get the backup minutes... including Amir

[Glenn]

He might be insulted, or he might take it as a challenge and use the opportunity to earn a shot.

Let's keep in mind that he was angry about his 10 mpg role with the Bobcats and more importantly, he's good friends with Carlos Delfino.

Glenn, What are the NBDL eligibility rules on that? If you get a chance...

[Matt]

they're afraid Herrmann will get hurt. he's still recovering from a nose injury from last year. i heard arnie kander might fashion a face mask, ala Rip Hamilton. no joke.

I hear Facemask Fabio doll sales could be good this year.

Herrmann played in his first game since the trade on Dec. 28, getting two points and nine rebounds against the Pacers.

Looks like the writer oopsed Herrmann's stat line. Herrmann got 2 points in 9 minutes. It was Amir who got the 9 rebounds.
